    He's not like.

    5 at the back at home against a team below us. Nothing to play for, so you'd expect us to have a go.

    Id happily be described as a dreamer, why would i not dream of us improving

    We have had a poor season but its also fixable, someone who claims to have worked in football for years like you should know that

    Yet we know that things are likely to change with a new head coach for a start..

    i do know a bit yes, but it seems our owner don't know that, and yes your right, IMHO KLD is not the answer for us , who is i honestly dont know, yet.
    So he should leave as it makes him look a twat.
    good night im on the lash

    We’ve spent more than most clubs on transfer fees since coming back up, including Ipswich. It’s just been spent poorly imo signing numerous players battling for the same positions none of whom have really made an impact this season.

    I personally haven’t written off the strikers yet but having 3 who are under 21 and the 4th coming from Ukraine then twisting that he can’t speak the language and that’s why he doesn’t play is just bizarre. 3 of those we’ve spent money on. Bennette coming in for money then loaning him out just to sign Mundle for £2.5m and him to barely kick a ball whilst looking no better than Bennette. The combined fees for those 2 aren’t a kick in the arse off what Hull paid for Philogene.

    I’m sure I’m in the same boat as most fans when I say I want us to unearth the next big thing and it’s exciting watching some of these lads play football but we can’t be trying to do that in all Xl positions on the pitch.

    We can tell you are on the lash

    KLD is the right man and has done more right than wrong with us - there are far far far worse owners than him (just look at our last owners for that)

    Anyway you enjoy your night, everyone who sat through that deserves a drink

    Get a ****ing grip of yourself man. Learn the rules, look at actual precedent, look at how much other clubs spend compared to how much they bring in, get involved with a club and learn.

    I'm of the belief that Speakman should be replaced. We've spent a lot of money and our squad is unbalanced and a bit of a mess. What won't improve us is KLD spending money he's not allowed to.
